Icorreapondenee ofthe Philadelphia Evenlns Bulletin.] Paris, Tuesday, June 2d, 1868.—There is no greater symptom of theunhealthy state of the po litical atmosphere in this country, than the fever ish anxiety and craving for “something new,” in which It seems to keep the population. Every time the Emperor Is known to be about to open his month, he Is expected to say something “stunning"! Just as If he were a news paper, people are always on the lookout for a sensational paragraph. ', It must be owned' that Napoleon himself has had something to do with the ereation of this task, and'with the indul gence oi It; for, In the early years of his reign, ho did, on more than one memorable occasion astonish both his own subjects and the rest of the world by his utterances. NOW, however, the portly gentleman, advancing beyond the middle period 1 of life, who trots about Paris; and the neighborhood with his wife on his arm, seems to have assumed quite a different character; and “l’lmpdratrice et MOI” (the Moniteur always prints the latter word in capitals), when we run down to pay a visit to our, good subjects, and citizens of Orleans' or Rouen, wo always make little speeches of the mildest and properest description. Accordingly, at Rouen on Sunday, whither, their. Majesties went, nothing passed on either side except the most decorous commonplaces. Even the “peaccand war” ques tion was let alone for once (It is, indeed, quite worn out): and Cardinal de Bonnechosc himself was either wise enough of his own accord, or had received a previous hint, to make no alto sion to the Roman question or the temporal power. Everything passed Off smoothly—and Daily. The Mayor of Rouen administered, with tbe keys of the city, tho rusual doBO of oflicia l adulation, and enumerated ail the bridges, canals and railroads for which the Rouennois are in debted to the imperial munificence—and their own money. The Emperor told the people in so many words why he and his wife had come among them, viz.: To testify their sympathy for the sufferings of the industrial and agricultural population of the district; and to pro" mlse that everything should -be done to ■increase, their prosperity: The Emperor also was good enough to intimate, like a second providence os he is, that the “bad times were now past and better days about to open;” a senti ment, .perhaps, to which M. Thiers and M. Poyer Querlier would scarcely respond. At the door of the Cathedra]—that exquisite specimen of “atony lace work," as Cooper, I think, somewhere calls it—it was the Cardinal’s turn to speak, after the Mayor. Hie spiritual power was no whit be hind the temporal ia its laudations; though the Cardinal was, as has been said, in other respects prudently reticent He con gratulated the Emperor upon the wife ihat Heaven had given him, and upon having a son who had been blessed from his cradle by the Holy Father, and just admitted to his First Com munion. The ollnsion to the Prince reminds me of something which I have previously forgotten to mention, as haying happened at the Ecolo Polytechnique, when His Imperial Highness lately visited and inspected that renowned institution. The young gentlemen educated there are, as is well known, of a fiety spirit, and require delicate handling. They are “commanded” by a French General .of; Division (no less !), of great tact and prudence, and who knows well whom he has to deal with. The General felt somewhat anxious as to how his ‘•young gentlemen” might relish being called out and paraded for inspection before a boy of 12 j ears old, although an “Imperial Highness." So the old soldier wisely aßked his rampagious pupils beforehand bow they intended to deport them selves to the Prince. ‘‘We will hold,” they said, “a toupon ” (I thick the term is), answering to a caucus —“and consider of it.” The Polytechnic caucus was held, and the resolution of the school was not to cry Fire le Prince Imperial !—and not a cry was heard I I told you that this foolish plan of sending a boy 12 years old in state about the country would do no good; and si,you see, it bus proved. The only point in the Emperor's reply to the Cardinal which deserves notice is whero he insists upon allying “progress” with “religion,” and the “love of country” to the “love of God”— a slight intimation, perhaps, to his Eminence that Napoleon HI. is the Emperor of the French, as well as the Eldest Son of the Church. When alluding the other day to two paintings of Gdrome which figure in, the Exhibition of thii year, 1 had only space at the. moment to speak in detail of one of them—the Death of Ney. The other depicts a subject of for higher import, and is equally remarkable and original in its treatment of it. Ton see before you a cold, gray land scape, if one may . so-designate a scene made up chiefly of huge boulders of gray granite, thinly speckled; over in the distance with the still colder gray of the' dim and grisly olives. An ominous and lowering sky hangs overhead, portentons.of gloom and tempest. Far distant stands, faintly depicted, a “city upon a hill,” with still higher mountains “standing about it,” and towards which a long procession is seen winding across the stony and barren slopes. Some individuals composing the pro cession seem to turn round and not exactly “snake their heads,” but gesticulate with their . arms against certain bbjects which they are leav ing behind them, Jtiut which are invisible to the spectator; being placed in a foreground outside of the picture. Then the eye falls upon a strange phontasmagorical shadow which seeins to flicker upon the pole gray stones, in ffont cast upon them evidently, athwart the lurid light, by the afore said external objects. Presently the Shadow assumes a definite form: Three Crosses, of. which the centre one is pre-eminent, emerge fiom it; and then the whole snbject flashes upon the mind and stands at once - revealed to you. It is Calvary; but with only the semblance of the Cro3s, The painter has modestly, and wisely perhaps, shrunkjffom de picting the tremendous scene, and instead of its substance, has given only its shadow. . Some cri tics say it is a “ trick.” But it is very effective and excusable,-for the reason intimated. The treatment and tone of thq painting, too, are in GGrome's usual careful and subdued manner. There is another painting honored with a con- PHILADELPHIA. TUESDAY. JUNE 16, 1868. Bpicuons position' in the grand central Baloon, which naturally attracts many American eyes. It represents the meeting, on tho IBlh of October, 1781, between General Washington and the Due do Lauzun, when the former decides on, the attack by. the latter of New Gloucester,, occupied by the dra goons of Colonel Tarleton, the evening before the capitulation of .Cornwaliia at Yorktown. The artist is John Lewis Brown, - of whom, when I say that he was “bom” at Bordeaux, I am ashamed to add that I know little more,. But the painting has much merit, and well, deserves: by: execution, os well as subject, the placo and at tention it occupies. The figure of the General, on his stout war cob,, is finely and firmly drawn, - with all his traditional calmness and decision ob the moment of action approaches. The gronp of officers in consultation, and the fleet of gnnboats in the distance, tell clearly the story of the recon noitre previous to the attack. ■ . : BONUS* A Papal Bccruitlng Officer for the United States—An American . Bishop —The Bourbon Bridal'Party. ’ Rome, May, 30,1868.—General Tewis leaves Rome to-morrow, 1 ain informed, for America, to occupy himself with the organization of tho battalion of United States volunteers for the Pope’s service, and hopes to return to Rome towards the end of September with the corps complete. TO effect this some activity will be required, there being hitherto only $25,000 and two hundred men ready; but as there are plenty of both dollars and men in America; it. the bishops set about the work with a will they will doubtless obtain the desired amount of each in two or three mcSnths. If any of the volunteers have been used to Indian warfare they will bb invaluablo soldiers for the Pope to employ in exterminating the bri gands who infest Ills dominions even within a lew hours’ march of tho-copltai, and who seem to dtfv all the troops his Holiness can send against them, whatever may be their nationality. Tbo Rev. Drl McClosky, rector of the United States College here, was consecrated a bishop on Sundaymoming'in the chapel of that establish ment by Cardinals Barnabo and Berardi. Mon eignor de Merode was also present. A number of Americans and foreigners were invited to the ceremony and nartook of the collation subse quently spread in the refectory. Monday the Bang of Naples repaired in state to tho Vatican to present to his Holiness 'his brother, the Count of Girgenti.with his bride,the Infanta Donna Isabella, daughter of the Queen of Spain. Tbe Infanta showed her attachment to tho Holy See by wearing a yellow and white robe on the occasion, and the Pope received the royal party with the ntmest affection. A Spanish steam ,frigate has arrived at Civita V eccbia and will receive the Count and Oonntess of Girgentl on board when' they leave Rome, which will not be for some time, as this is the infanta's first visit to the Eternal City, the mar vels of which she must, of course, examine and aomire. The great religious festival of Corpus Domini , presenting the most gorgeous procession of tbe whole year, is also at hand to detain the bridal -pair, as well as the proximate marriage of the Count of Girgenti’e younger brother. Count of Caserta. to his consin, daughter of the Cotmt of Trapani. HAYII* Interview oi Nulnave wltlt the Corps Diplomatique—A General Attack to be Hade on tlte Bebel Position. Port av Prince, June 2, 1868—On Bunday, May 31, the diplomatic body, consisting of the United Btates Jiinister Resident and the French, English and Spanish Charges d’Affaires, had an Interview with president Sataave, who declared to them his determination not to yield to his anta gonists, and to hold his position fterc under every circnmstance, stating that any disaster which arrived to • this city would be by the fault of the revolution ists. • On the following day President Satoave visited Fort Bizoton ana returned to the city at 10 A. M. The French man-of-war D’Estiees left for Norfolk, and the Royalist (English gunboat) went outside to practice her large guns. At 6 P. M., the English frigate Phoebe and the Ameri can war steamer Penobscot arrived from Ja maica. On Tuesday, June 2, President Satoave ad dressed a despatch to the French Charge d’Af faires instructing him to have the school of the French Sisters of Charity transported to town, and to advise his countrymen not to pass the pickets of his lines. A general attack by the Government forces is expected on Petionville to-morrow. Nulnave Attempts to Compromise-The Bcbels Befeet His Terms-What is to be tlie Vpsisotl Port ac Prisce, June 5, 1868. —Yesterday a deputation of generals was sent by Satoave to tbe army of the southern revolutionists to endea vor to effect a compromise. His terms were as follows: That he should be allowed to keep the Presidential chair for his three years to ran, and would consent to give the ministry to the southern generals, and that . the. army of the south ' should enter imme diately into this city and join with him to repelling the Cacoa. These propositions were indignantly refused by the Southern Generals, who demanded to their tarn as their ultimatum that Satoave should lay down his arms and leave the country. Heavy firing took place all night and still continued at daybreak. To-day every thing has been remarkably quiet here. A gene ral attack from the north, south and east may soon be expected. Under the pressure of present events, I am not sure whether Satoave will abdicate or fight it out. The American Minister, with Captain Eastman and the officers of the United States 6teamer Penobscot, will be received at the Palace by the President to-morrow|morning. CUBA.

The obsequies of Marshal Narvaoz, the deceased Prime Minister of her Catholic Majesty, will be performed with great solemnity at the cathedral to-morrow morning. All the troops have received orders to breakfast at five A. M., and are to be each regaled with a brimfnl glass of Catalan wine, so as to fortily them for the fatigues of the march.and to better enable them io overcome the depressing Influences of the ex ceedingly hot weather. —Prof. Sweet’s great pedestrian feat of. walk ing one hundred miles in twenty-two hours, at Now Haven, is postponed until Juno 19th and 20th on. account of the storm. . —A French, soldier, named Saunier has been sentenced to death by a military tribunal at Gre noble for desertion to the Russians during the Crimean War In 1855.

The value of the prize was $2,000, added to a swtepatakes of $5O each, play or pay, and there were twenty-three entiles. Of this nntnber the following came to tire post when tho b'uule summoned them to start: Mr. Watson’s ; Onward, Mr. Snediker’s James A. Connelly, Mr. Forbes’ De Courcy, Dr. Weldon’s Local, and CapL Moore’s Fanny Cheatham. The last named was a tremendous favorite over the rest, for in cue pool sold just before the start, she brought $l,OOO, Local, $2BO, Connolly, $llO, Onward, $l6O, and De Courcy, $5O. De Courcy was the first to show in front, closely attended by Connolly, the favorite next, Onward fourth, and Local to the rear of every thing. In this order they passed the stand (the start having been froth the three-quarter pole at the bead oi the stretch), and at .the quarter pole De Courcy was still lii front, Connolly add On ward to attendance,and tbe favorite, who seemed nnable to live with the leaders, the fourth, while’ Local still bided bis time in the rear. Rounding the Club-house hill Capt. Moore’s filly fell six lengths behind everything, and it was clear she was already beaten. Passing the stand the second time, (thus completing a mile and a quarter of the distance,) Connolly had deprived De Courcy of the lead, with Onward ahd Local thud and fourth. Con nolly kept opening a gap between himself and De Courcy, until at the quarter-pole he hod placed two lengths between them, the others still to the same relative positions. Rounding the Club house bluff, Local moved up and took third place, while Onward had deprived De Courcy of second position. Hennessy on Local waited with admirable judgment nntU fairly into the straight, wben he brought him out, and chopping down Connolly and Onward in beautiful style, he galloped home a clever Winner by two lengths—Connolly second, as far btfore Onward, Do Courcy fourth, and the favor ite last oi all.

Be win Accept tbe Democratic Nora~ Ination ana Carry Oat Democratic Principles Conservative ltepublt cans Coining to Hts Support. . tFrom tho New York Herald.] Richmond, Va., June 16,1868.—A report has been current here for a day or < two that Chief Justice Chase wduldta a letter positively decline a nomination by the Democratic party prior, ’to the Convention of theFonrth of July In Now York. I am authorized to state that such Is nof tbe case. If tho Democracy shall adopt a plat form to accordance with the woll-known princi ples of Mr. Chase he will serve, with the purpose of proclaiming general amnesty, restoring peace, abolishing military rale and: establishing tho finances of the country on a firm basis. Mr. Chaso is now.in receipt, of communica tions from tfie leading Republicans of tho East, West and North, assuring him that if he receives the Democratic nomination on a platform em bodying universal suffrage, they will hcartiy cooperate to his election.. 80. numerous have these been that there Is every evidence of, the widest disaffection towards the weak and puerile platform’adopted at Chicago by the Radicals. The people here having no voice now are de termined to support the New York nominees at any and all hazards. Chief Justice Chase, to company with General Henry A. Wise, visited tho Atricaa church yes terday during divine sendee. mysterious Affair Near Harrisburg. (From tbe Harrisburg State Guard, June 15,3 Considerable excitement was occasioned in our city tost evening by a rumor that a murder had been committed within two miles of onr munici pal limits. , Mr. John F. Brehm, a well-known, storekeeper and butcher of that place, who also, has a stand on market days In front of Wyeth’s building in this city, left home at noon on Friday to go to ■ Heckert’s Gap, below LlDglestown, to purchase cattle. He arrived at the Gap, but does not ap pear to have made any purchases, and irom there went. to Benjamin Geesoy’s tavern, in Linglcstown, leaving there about 8 P. M. for Harrisburg. At the tavern he stated that he had abont $l,OOO about bis person. He then canqe on to the tavern on the Jonestown rood, about two miles from this city, kept by Bamuel Lutz, and left there afoot for Harrisburg about 10 P. JL, leaving his buggy, and as he expressed some fears of traveling 'alone from the fact that he had left his pistol at home; Mr. Lutz lent him a walking stick. His desire to come on that night was prompted by the fact that he had promised one of his employes to be here and assist him in cutting np half a beef for market. He has not been heard from since he left the tavern, and -suspecting foul play, Mr. Landis, his brother-in-law, and Mr. David Keefer determined to Investigate the matter, and late yesterday afternoon discovered on the Jonestown road, about one and half miles from this city, a large pool of blood and an envelope thereto which had been addressed to Mr. Breton oil Thursday last by Robert A. Limber ton. Esq. Search was made as far os possible until dark, when the aid of the Sheriff and Mayor were in voked, and this morning the country will be ■ econred with the hopes of discovering tbe victim ol what has evidently been on unprovoked and bloody murder: We ore requested to announce that a reward of one hundred dollars will be paid for the recovery of the body, and it is to be hoped and expected that farmers and citizens will turn out and tho roughly investigate every bush and retreat In the locality ofthe murder,, and assist tho authorities in obtaining a clue to this myste rious affair. Mr.’Brehm was twenly-six years of age, and leaves a wife, who resides In Manoda Hill. An Historical House in Knoxville. A Knoxville (Tenn.) Correspondent of the Cin cinnati Gazelle says the house of Colonel Arm strong, near that-city,ls historical. During a part of the siego of Knoxville it was occupied by rebel sharp shooters, and only escaped being bat tered down because Burnsido bad but few cannon balls or shells. Nevertheless, one of the latter, a twenty-pounder, crashed through the walls, and several smaller ones marked it in different places. The side next Fort Sandtrs Is, dented and flecked and spotted with hundreds oi bnllet marks. Several musket boils may be seen partially embedded to the window silts and frames. In the parlor stands a piano, exactly where it stood aurtog’the fight. .Two balls came through the window's and lodged to the wood of ike instrument, where they are yet visible.' The tones of the piano are still as beauti ful os though the casing did not contain those grim evidences of a day when no music was heard save that awful kind which accompanies upon the field of battle the messengers of death. In the tower there is a more frightful trace of the frnv. ••The tower is perhaps Bix feet square, with three long and very narrow windows. Among the enemy’s sharpshooters, when they held the house, was a young South Carolinian, who, with several others, occupied the tower. Peeping from one of the windows, a bullet, which must have come three-quarters of a mile, crashed into bis brain, and passed entirely through his head. The blood poured out in two sanguinary streams, as his comrades dragged him below; and from the .spot where he fell to' the very bottom of the stairs, the two streams, now ruu ning parallel, now momentarily coinciding, and, anon, crossing each other, are still distinctly visible. The round hole in the glass, through which the bullet penetrated is also seen. With great good taste Colonel Armstrong has preserved so far as possible, the traces of the conflict about his housq.. It is true, several vigorous efforts have been made towash away the blood, but it bad been too thoroughly soaked into the wood be fore Colonel Armstrong’s family returned to the residence, and now it will remain there os long as the mansion endures, a fearful reminder oi the consequences of war. —Lord Brougham’s funeral at Cannes was a very shabby aflair. The coffin was of plain deal covered with black cloth and tacked oft-with plain black nails, and there was-no ornament or inscription upon It.. When the coffin, which was carried m a “musty old hearse dragged by two sorry horses,” was pushed into, the vault, it was done so clumsily that a portion of the black cloth was tom off. The ceremony was disgraceful, considering the eminence of the nobleman whose obsequies were celebrated. :—lf any one thinks tho Sultan is a poor man let him read a catalogue of that monarch’s jewels, comprising the largest emeralds in tho world, and some'of the most wonderful, pearls; One or the latter, pear-nhaped, is three-fourths of an inch in diameter.
